Making some progress...

At least snapchat halfway works. I have contacted the snapchat support but they told me to reinstall the app. I will try to get another response today.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitAmp:
I really wish snap chat was working for the nexus 7 ( I really don't like using my p500 for snap chat) I will talk to the devs about it today, maybe even providing them with a log etc..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitAmp:
Well I tried, I guess what we have to do is just be patient and wait. I'd like to say that the support for snap chat emailed me back within 45 mins.View attachment 1766544
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FitAmp:
What I'm guessing is that since they are still introducing a lot of new features in snap chat, more device support will be coming (soon I bet) be patient, our device will get there eventually.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragid10:
Actually today after viewing a snap i had gotten from my friend, i went to the camera to see if it would magically work and i saw the switch to front camera icon. I pressed it, then it crashed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhilb11:
It Works!

Just sideloaded snapchat 2.1 and the camera works now!!!

Only problem that the picture is flipped the wrong way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragid10:
Lol i was just about to come here and say that!!! It's no big deal, we just have to take upside-down pictures!

Edit: Actually it looks like the app FC's when you want to send videos, but camera i good enough for me!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhilb11:
You can also just flip the nexus 7 upside down or sideways to take pictures.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downrange914:
Hi All - was wondering if anyone has noticed/seen the presence of filenames of the form VS??????.000 in the /sdcard directory on Jellybean 4.2 devices ?

I've noticed they're created intermittently during start up of the device and are of varying filesizes. Unfortunately the file contents do not give any clue as to what the files are for, however they are binary in nature - i.e. definitely not text based.

I had a couple of ideas as to what they might be :

a) Related to Trend AntiVirus - have sent them an email but not received any response yet.

b) Related to some form of fsck check during device startup - however I've contacted Asus support (as this occurs on both the Padfone2 and Infinity TF700T) and they are not aware of any fsck type process which would generate such filenames.

Any info would be appreciated !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irishdoom:
I got a 16GB Nexus 4 for both myself and my wife from T-Mobile. I love mine, but she is not as happy with it. I think with her she actually liked some of the things she got from the Sense UI, and maybe she would be better served with a different recent model phone that has a heavier overlay.

So, given that, does a 16GB Nexus 4 have a good trade value right now? What would be some good alternative, recent phones to target in a trade?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
Considering its 16gb price is 350. You are better off keeping it. What are you looking for?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowtje:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irishdoom:
So I could potentially get a slightly different phone and some cash. I think the first thing I have to do is try again to convince her to keep her sweet, sweet phone. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uploder:
Good luck OP. From my experience in general, if your girl doesn't know or care about anything root related with a phone they will prefer a skinned android experience better than stock ( ala touchwiz or sense.) My gf is a prime example lol. I've given up trying to make her see the light.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irishdoom:
Yeah, that might be where I'm at. I see you're another former G2X owner as well. God I hate that phone now! Nexus 4 is so refreshing in comparison. :)

Any word on how the TouchWiz skin on the GSIII is? That might be a phone I wouldn't feel too horrible about swapping to for her. I'm not entirely sure what HTC phone I'd want to go with that we could use on T-Mobile easily.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
TouchWiz is great in terms of features (smart stay, multi window etc.) but is (IMO) unbearably ugly. It's incredibly cartoonish, and the fact that the AMOLED display is oversaturated really doesn't help it much. In terms of speed and performance I've found TouchWiz to be slightly slower than stock but still very fast. The only real issue with it is the appearance, but you can change this with third party apps so it's not too bad.
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
So when I picked up my Microsoft Surface pro I had the guys at Best Buy install the Zaag HD screensaver. I am looking for an alternative as I can't stand it. It has that spongy feel in fingernails leave indentations as well as the type keyboard well it's closed.

I would like to know if there is a cheap hard version out there as this is the same exact issue I had when I first bought my htc evo.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
I presume you mean screen protector, in computing a screensaver means something different entirely.

Given the incredible hardness of the Surface's screen, and the fact that the cover will protect it in many situations, I see no reason to use a protector at all. However, if you're really curious, there is already a thread on this subject. Search before posting, please!
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
I'd rather have a screen protector that take the risk tbh, not a cheap device and the cost of a screen protector is a lot more paletable than having to replace the screen...

Internet » router [wifi] » phone recieves wifi » nothing to link packets to the computer via usb » on pc [no internet connection available...]

Trying to figure out what people have on their device.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
VaporMg. Vapor-deposited magnesium coating on an aluminum frame. Dark matte color looks classy, feels great on the fingers, and adds surprisingly little weight. Very durable, though; it can take a drop onto concrete from three feet or so with just a scratch that only slightly mars the aesthetics; the case wasn't actually damaged.

Hell, with the Surface RT, somebody had one fly off the roof of their car at freeway speeds and then get run over, tossing it into the air again. There were dents and scratches, but the case was still intact and there was no functional damage to the tablet at all. VaporMg is some seriously tough stuff.

You can get thicker, heavier cases, but I don't really see much benefit.

However, this topic (like many other things), has already been discussed. Please use search before posting!
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
That's a great story, I'm looking it up now. I work in some extreme environments and worry about it.

Oh and I did search. I think one day we may have a better forum/topics area for our Q&A's that would definitely help.

Rodeo been there...
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
The surface is hardly a cheapy plastic android tablet. Its pretty much a block of metal with a screen. Hence why its so heavy compared to the competition :P

Pretty sturdy device. Made a hell of a bang in john lewis when I knocked it over, nearest assistant just laughed when he saw me worrying about if I had damaged it (I get paranoid over things that arent mine and the possibility of breaking them) and mentioned that the same unit I had knocked over had already had a meeting with the floor twice on the same morning they set the thing up in the first place.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
If you're either real paranoid about the possibility of damage or work in an environment where there's a really high risk of damage, then getting a case makes sense I suppose.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116266&highlight=case

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1970322&highlight=case

Also, in case you missed the joke: VaporMg is what Microsoft calls the way they make the shell of the Surface tablets (RT and Pro). It's not an external case. It is absurdly sturdy though, much stronger than the chassis on an iPad or most Android tablets.

[Microsoft Surface] Kraize:
Might be a bad idea considering there's no surface case that leaves area for the vent and then again, as hot as the surface gets, it might melt/burn a hole in your case.
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
Still nothing? My Surface is suffering daily minor scratches and the skins don't hold up well. I just wish there was something that could clip to the back.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Still wanting something here as well, had a cheap "leather" one for my RT, the Pro is thicker though so I need a new case :/
[Microsoft Surface] Kraize:
To be honest, I never had this problem when my skin. I also kept it in a slip case when I went out. I used this as my skin and I JUST took it off a few days ago to exchange my pro. After I took it off, it looked like I just bought a brand new pro. No scratches at all. Mind you, this pro slide across a concrete floor on it's back with the skin on a few times.

Version - 4.1.2

Baseband - I9100XXLS6

On the galaxy s2, I select the reboot option from the power options menu. After the restart, I noticed that my battery lost its juice (70 percent original, 40 after reboot).

However I do not have this issue when i turn it off and turn it back on again.

Is this reboot function causing battery loss meant to happen or is there a way to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Could be fuel gauge or a faulty chip. It's weird tho.

Drain it empty, leave it off while charging. When it hits 100 % remove the battery and wait 90 seconds aprox to reinsert it, then power it on and reboot after 5 minutes.

To rapidly support a wide range of devices, our architecture reuses some of the drivers and hardware enablement available for Android.

As a consequence, at the current images you'll find some of the Android services running at the device, and the Ubuntu filesystem living separately, inside a container.

For quick reference, these are the current components used from Android:

Linux Kernel (stock Android kernel provided by the vendor, with a few changes to support some extra features needed by Ubuntu)

OpenGL ES2.0 HAL and drivers

Audio/Media HAL and services, to re-use the hardware video decoders

RILD for modem support

As Ubuntu is running in a separated container on top of an Android kernel and services, the communication between them happens via Binder, Sockets and libhybris.

Other than the very basic services (needed to re-use the binary blobs already available), the rest is just pure Ubuntu goodness

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
As the title states I want to know what are the values in mA/h or %/h you get while doing some stuffs and what ROM/Kernel/Settings are you using. I will appreciate any information provided. I know there are many threads about battery consumption but no data for real comparison.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I often get around 30% usage per hour while gaming on Modern Combat 4 online. General use like browsing often consumes 8-15% per hour. For idle time I get on average 0.3-0.8%h and lower on airplane mode.

Hope that helps.

P.S. these aren't guesses, but measured rates using Battery Monitor Widget.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
Thank you very much. I also use this app for measuring consumption and lately I see some strange numbers. About 17%/h while browsing and 1-3%/h in Deep Sleep mode with nothing running in background and 2G mode. Also in gaming I see 20-40%/h depending the game.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I also get strange values, but perhaps that's related to the fact that the app updates it's values every 10 minutes as a default. Maybe increasing the frequency will improve accuracy at the expense of some battery. For heavy gaming, it's possible that heat will increase battery usage as well.

I find the best calculated results are when I'm doing something for at least an hour and then see what values the app gives.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
I agree. But I can't see why in Deep Sleep mode I experience high consumption lately.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
Yes, no unusual wakelocks or alarms.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Can you post a screenshot of your Settings -> Application Manager -> Running screen?

I often find apps running that don't produce wake locks, but I don't want running in the background anyways... Tune In Radio has been one... Google maps is another (and is responsible for a lot of battery drain when running for no good reason). I froze google maps with titanium backup and my battery improved quite a bit as wake locks reduced significantly.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:

Looks like you're on a custom rom. Have you been able to compare your usage to others with the same rom?

Also, of you don't use svoice, consider disabling it. We're there any more apps running under the svoice app in that list?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
Yes, keyboard and clock. The custom ROM is tweaked for better battery consumption and the stats is not comparable to others users, especially the numbers getting in Deep Sleep and browsing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Here's my list after I've trimmed it down.

There are still several "optional apps" which I don't actually need, but they serve a purpose and I'm not concerned about their battery consumption.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:
You don't have the MAPServiceSamsung I have. Any idea what is this about?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I froze that in titanium. It's related to bluetooth messaging... like sms or something, but since I only use my bt headset for voice and listening to music, it hasn't ever been a problem disabling it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami999:

Kernel

Will the kernel still be compatible with the newest update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Flashing a ROM over the top of your existing ROM will replace both the /system partition and also the boot partition.

Meaning - your Motley Kernel will get blown away and replaced with whatever boot image the ROM dev provided (stock kernel and ramdisk, I suppose). But you can certainly just re-install the Moltey kernel anytime thereafter.

If you have market apps that try to perform random kernel tweaks as soon as the ROM boots, you might be in for some surprises up to and including bootloops. The safest thing to do - if they have an "apply at boot" toggle, is to turn that off before you commence flashing.

As always, take a full nandroid backup before you begin. You can always go back that way.
